COUNCIL MINUTES<br />
28 JUNE 2011<br />
Response<br />
Works were undertaken earlier this year to improve efficiency <strong>of</strong> getting water into the<br />
drainage system, however, consideration should be given to redesigning the system to<br />
cope with this rare event which has occurred three times in 1 year.<br />
Susan Sawyer, 36 Halesworth Road, Jolimont<br />
Question 1<br />
Has any consideration been given to Halesworth Road, namely our property at No. 36<br />
which was near flooded last March. Could some consideration be given to the fact that<br />
we have two drains outside <strong>of</strong> our driveway, one bordering the neighbour's property and<br />
one bordering our property. Could we have the crossover widened in the hope that we<br />
might also incorporate a drain on our property where the crossover and the property<br />
meet, which could be directed into a stormwater drain on verge to try and accommodate<br />
the fact that water flows to front door.<br />
Response<br />
The question will be taken on notice, however, that site is one <strong>of</strong> the sites nominated to<br />
be looked at.<br />
Question 2<br />
What consideration has been given to the Netball site that has water sitting on the<br />
grassed overflow carpark area We feel that there might be some flooding happening in<br />
that area.<br />
Response<br />
Due to the large volume <strong>of</strong> water in such a short time, water is sitting on that area as it<br />
could not soak away. The intention in the Master Plan is to still have those grassed<br />
surfaces as retention soakage bases for the park environs and as the design progresses<br />
for the new netball courts, how we infiltrate stormwater will be dealt with as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
design process.<br />
4. PETITIONS<br />
A petition signed by 33 users <strong>of</strong> the Wembley Community Centre has been submitted<br />
suggesting that all senior citizens who use the centre be provided with an identifying card<br />
or sticker for their car which would enable the Inspector to easily identify any illegal<br />
parking.<br />
This matter will be considered at Item CR11.57.<br />
Moved by Cr Langer, seconded by Cr Bradley<br />
That in accordance with Clause 3.5 <strong>of</strong> the Standing Orders, the petition be<br />
received.<br />
Carried 8/0<br />
